All the cultural references from Bad Bunny's Halftime show broken down. 👇🏼🇵🇷

Every element of this performance was deliberate. Bad Bunny brought out Puerto Rican culture to the Super Bowl, yes, but more than that, he brought an entire neighborhood, complete with its history, struggles, joy, music, food, people, and values. The jíbaros in the fields honored agricultural workers. The panderos and cuatros celebrated musical heritage. The casita recreated community. The real wedding demonstrated love. The power lines acknowledged ongoing colonial neglect. The little boy receiving the Grammy offered hope for the next generation. And the final message, “Together We Are America”, rejected the false choice between being Puerto Rican and being American. In thirteen tightly choreographed, intentionally thought out minutes, he delivered a history lesson, a political statement, a cultural celebration, and a party.
